IRC is updating its roster of individual consultants to support ECHO Humanitarian Implementation Plan (HIP) proposal development across five regions – Asia;
East Africa;
Latin America;
Middle East, North Africa and Ukraine (MENAU); and West and Central Africa (WACAR). This call is issued ahead of the FY27 HIP season, but the roster itself is ongoing: consultants selected will be retained beyond FY27 and contacted directly for future ECHO HIP cycles as country-level and regional needs are confirmed. Each assignment is issued as an individual Statement of Work, scoped and agreed on its own terms.

This call covers four consultant categories:

• Bid leadership
• Pricing and budget support
• Technical leadership
• Proposal writing

Candidates may apply for one or more categories. Applications should clearly state which category or categories, and which region or regions, the candidate is available to support, as language and availability requirements differ by region (see Section
5).

• A. Bid leadership Lead the end-to-end development of an ECHO HIP proposal for an assigned country or opportunity Coordinate between country programme technical teams, grants staff and the IRC Awards Management Unit Ensure narrative quality, compliance with ECHO's Single Form requirements, and overall proposal coherence
• B. Proposal writing Draft and revise proposal narrative components, log-frames and annexes to a publication-ready standard Incorporate feedback from country and headquarters review cycles Work within IRC's proposal templates and formatting requirements
• C. Pricing and budget support Develop and quality-assure ECHO-compliant budgets Ensure alignment between narrative, log-frame and financial submission Apply ECHO's budget templates and cost-eligibility rules accurately
• D. Technical leadership Provide sector-specific technical design input for ECHO HIP proposals, for example Education in Emergencies Ensure technical design aligns with donor priorities and IRC's technical standards Support integration of technical content into the proposal narrative and log-frame
